It's true..what this woman is actually doing is squeezing the essential oils out of the lemon and applying them to her skin. Many essential oils are natural insect repellents...the problem is that they are very strong and should be used properly, because the skin absorbs what is put on it and you don't want to have any side effects. Citrus oils can cause burning when in the sun and should really be avoided during the summer..thus...a better choice for a natural insect repellent are the essential oils from herbs or the geranium flower. I'm an aromatherapist and make natural insect repellents. The Herbal Harmony Spritz and the Rose Garden Spritz are very effective. Check out www.bodyfood.ca
